With the alcohol content not exceeding 5 per cent, these flavours are a pleasant change in the current selection of local beers.Product: Indus Pride (India’s first beer brewed with authentic Indian spices)usp: Available in four flavours — Citrusy Coriander, Citrusy Cardamom, Spicy Fennel and Fiery CinnamonPrice: Rs 85 per pint
